Chronology Links of Interest
We give here a few links of chronological interest, which we hope will prove useful. As there is little yet available on the Internet concerning the traditional topics fundamental to ancient dating (such as stratigraphy, ceramic typology, chronicles, kinglists and genealogies), our selection concentrates on scientific methods.
